The cover shoot in the new issue is mine and I've had stuff in the last three issues and had stuff published in VeloNews and on the Bicycling magazine and Triathlete magazine websites. Mostly I've been doing this as a side gig for fun and extra cash for gear. I was the Creative Director at a sign company until a month ago when they laid me off -- so now I'm shooting a little more earnestly. It's sad but I make considerably more doing kids sports pictures than I do selling anything to magazines.

Anyway, Greg's timing was interesting. His timing could have been very good if he would have set up a his own press conference and presented a plan for fixing cycling -- and been more articulate! He had most everyone in the cycling world media nearby and could have easily persuaded them to come to another press conference.

As it is, he came off a crazy old man who doesn't like Lance. :shock: And most of the media ignored him in their articles about the press conference. It seems Greg is having a hard time finding a sympathetic ear when it comes to reforming the anti-doping system. When you hear Greg talk about it he is extremely knowledgeable about doping, physiology and training. I think he gets so fired up he looses it a bit.
